Product details
Overview
MMBZ5221BS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual isolated 2.4 V Zener diode pair in SOT-363 package, rated for 200 mW total power dissipation, 30 Ω zener impedance at 20 mA test current, and 100 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in compact analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5221BS-7 datasheet, MMBZ5221BS-7 pinout, MMBZ5221BS-7 application, or MMBZ5221BS-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage (2.4 V), zener test current (20 mA), maximum zener impedance (30 Ω), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and dual-diode isolation in ultra-small surface mount form factor.
Technical Context
This dual Zener device integrates two electrically isolated 2.4 V zener junctions in a single SOT-363 package, enabling independent voltage clamping or reference functions on separate signal paths without cross-coupling. Each diode exhibits tight tolerance (±5% nominal), low dynamic impedance (30 Ω at 20 mA), and stable breakdown behavior down to 0.25 mA knee current.
It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C with 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when mounted per recommended FR4 pad layout, and supports automated assembly via lead-free, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating on Alloy 42 leads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.4 V nominal, 2.28–2.52 V range at 20 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for low-voltage rail protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW total - limits continuous dissipation per device under ambient conditions |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 30 Ω at 20 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 100 µA at 1.0 V - confirms low standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - determines temperature rise above ambient at full power on standard FR4 layout |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-363 (SC-70-6) plastic surface-mount package with six terminals: two anodes (A1, A2), two cathodes (C1, C2), and two no-connect (NC) pins. Dual diodes share no internal connection; pin 1 = C1, pin 2 = A1, pin 3 = NC, pin 4 = NC, pin 5 = A2, pin 6 = C2 (top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (C1) | Cathode of Diode 1 | Connected to regulated node or reference point for first Zener path |
| Pin 2 (A1) | Anode of Diode 1 | Biased toward ground or lower potential to enable reverse breakdown |
| Pin 3 (NC) | No Connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected in PCB layout |
| Pin 4 (NC) | No Connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected in PCB layout |
| Pin 5 (A2) | Anode of Diode 2 | Independent bias node for second isolated Zener function |
| Pin 6 (C2) | Cathode of Diode 2 | Provides second independent clamping/reference output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual isolated Zeners | Enables two independent voltage references or clamps in one footprint, reducing board area by ~40% vs. discrete SOD-323 devices |
| 200 mW total power rating | Supports sustained 20 mA operation at 2.4 V without thermal derating on standard FR4 pads |
| 30 Ω zener impedance | Maintains < ±20 mV regulation error across 5–25 mA load variation in feedback loops |
| Lead-free / RoHS compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity and global environmental compliance requirements |
| Ultra-small SOT-363 | 0.006 g mass and 2.2 × 1.35 mm outline allow placement in space-constrained portable electronics |
Applications
| Portable Power Management | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Voltage clamping of 3.3 V I/O lines in battery-powered IoT nodes against ESD transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual Zener provides independent protection for TX and RX lines without shared impedance coupling. Use Value: Prevents latch-up in microcontroller GPIOs while maintaining signal integrity below 2.5 V threshold. | Use Scenario: Precision 2.4 V reference for 12-bit ADC biasing in 4–20 mA loop-powered transmitters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable shunt reference supplying excitation current to bridge sensors with <0.5% initial tolerance. Use Value: Enables ±0.1% measurement accuracy over –40 °C to +85 °C without trimming. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Medical Wearable Front-Ends |
Use Scenario: Overvoltage suppression on LIN bus interface inputs exposed to load-dump events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage clamp limiting input to 2.5 V before TVS and buffer IC, reducing stress on downstream logic.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides quiet 2.4 V reference for op-amp feedback network, rejecting supply ripple. Use Value: Achieves <15 nV/√Hz noise floor at 1 kHz due to low dynamic impedance and absence of series resistance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG1012T-7 | Single 2.4 V Zener in SOT-523; no dual isolation; 150 mW rating | Requires two devices for dual-path use; higher board area and assembly cost | Select when only one reference path is needed and space allows discrete placement |
| BZX84-C2V4LT1G | Single 2.4 V Zener in SOT-23; ±5% tolerance; 30 Ω ZZT; 200 mW rating | Lacks second isolated diode; not suitable for differential or dual-rail clamping | Choose for cost-sensitive single-reference designs where dual functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with DMG1012T-7 and BZX84-C2V4LT1G, MMBZ5221BS-7 uniquely delivers two fully isolated 2.4 V Zener functions in one SOT-363 footprint, enabling compact dual-rail protection or reference without performance trade-offs in impedance or leakage.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of MMBZ5221BS-7?
MMBZ5221BS-7 contains two independent Zener diodes: Diode 1 has cathode on Pin 1 and anode on Pin 2; Diode 2 has cathode on Pin 6 and anode on Pin 5. Pins 3 and 4 are unconnected. The top-view marking "KC1" identifies the 2.4 V variant and aligns with the cathode-anode orientation shown in the official Diodes Incorporated datasheet DS31039.
Can MMBZ5221BS-7 be used for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - MMBZ5221BS-7 is a unidirectional Zener device optimized for reverse-bias voltage regulation and clamping. It lacks symmetric breakdown characteristics required for bidirectional ESD protection. For such applications, purpose-built TVS arrays like D3V3M1U2LP-7 or SP1003-01UTG are recommended instead.
What is the maximum surge current this device can handle?
Per Figure 6 in DS31039, MMBZ5221BS-7 withstands non-repetitive peak surge power up to 1.5 W for 1 ms, translating to ~610 mA peak current at 2.4 V. This capability supports transient suppression in low-energy signal lines but does not replace dedicated high-energy TVS components for system-level surge immunity.
Is the SOT-363 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - MMBZ5221BS-7 meets J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 10-second dwell). Its matte tin finish and Alloy 42 leadframe ensure reliable solder joint formation without voiding or dewetting when using recommended thermal ramp rates and soak times.
